"Bright dark red. Wilder aromas than the Cailloux: dark raspberry, plum, smoked meat, black olive, hoisin sauce and baking spices. Very backward and slightly medicinal, in a more brooding style, with its concentrated dark raspberry fruit complicated by notes of wet stone and smoky minerality. Less fun today than the Cailloux but this is silky, savory and complex, not to mention darker in character. Finishes ripely tannic and very long. I suspect this wine will make a perfect match for a slab of rare duck breast, but I'd still hold it for at least a couple more years. " Vinous.com Dec 2019 |
